厘清欧盟AI法案中公平性与反歧视法规的关系

It's complicated. The relationship of algorithmic fairness and non-discrimination provisions for high-risk systems in the EU AI Act

  • 对比法律反歧视与算法公平性的核心理念
  • 高风险系统需兼顾输入数据与输出监控,但存在可行性争议
  • 为法律与计算机学者合作提供跨学科基础

什么是公平的决策?这一问题对人类已属难题,当人工智能模型参与时更显复杂。针对算法歧视现象,欧盟近期通过《AI法案》,要求高风险系统遵循传统法律反歧视规定与基于机器学习的算法公平性原则。本文旨在通过两方面实现融合:一是面向法律与计算机科学学者的高层次概念介绍;二是深入分析法案中法律反歧视与算法公平性之间的关系。研究发现:(1) 多数反歧视规定仅适用于高风险AI系统;(2) 高风险系统的监管涵盖数据输入要求与输出监测,但二者部分不一致,引发计算可行性问题;(3) 探讨了经典欧盟反歧视法与《AI法案》未来可能的互动。建议发展更具体的AI系统审计与测试方法。本文旨在为法律与机器学习研究者在AI歧视议题上的跨学科协作奠定基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

What constitutes a fair decision? This question is not only difficult for humans but becomes more challenging when Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are used. In light of discriminatory algorithmic behaviors, the EU has recently passed the AI Act, which mandates specific rules for high-risk systems, incorporating both traditional legal non-discrimination regulations and machine learning based algorithmic fairness concepts. This paper aims to bridge these two different concepts in the AI Act through: First, a necessary high-level introduction of both concepts targeting legal and computer science-oriented scholars, and second, an in-depth analysis of the AI Act's relationship between legal non-discrimination regulations and algorithmic fairness. Our analysis reveals three key findings: (1.) Most non-discrimination regulations target only high-risk AI systems. (2.) The regulation of high-risk systems encompasses both data input requirements and output monitoring, though these regulations are partly inconsistent and raise questions of computational feasibility. (3.) Finally, we consider the possible (future) interaction of classical EU non-discrimination law and the AI Act regulations. We recommend developing more specific auditing and testing methodologies for AI systems. This paper aims to serve as a foundation for future interdisciplinary collaboration between legal scholars and computer science-oriented machine learning researchers studying discrimination in AI systems.
